My experiences with some of the components :-
Miche Pistard wheelset (I had the tub version) - started ejecting spokes from the front wheel after a year. Wheel builder that I took it too said it was a crap design
Miche Primato cranks/chainrings - No problems here, however..
Miche bottom bracket - Is heavy and prone to corrosion and badly designed
Miche sprocket - will be on a carrier. I've not had a problem with it, although i'm not a fixieskidderz. Other people have had problems though.
Tyres - Both your choices I've had problems with, chiefly no puncture protection, and no grip in the wet.
You also seem to be missing a front brake...
